Agency Ready: Your Path to Professional Modelling with Walking in Heels
Darling, if you’ve ever dreamed of stepping onto a runway, standing confidently in a casting room, or seeing yourself in a fashion shoot, this is for you. The path to professional modelling isn’t just about having the look, though that certainly matters. It’s about having the presence, the technique, the confidence, and the polish that sets you apart from everyone else in the room.
At Walking in Heels, we’re building something exciting. We’re not just coaching aspiring models to walk beautifully in heels, we’re preparing them for professional opportunities through partnerships with modelling agencies in Sussex, London, and internationally across Switzerland, France, and Italy. And it all starts with one crucial realisation: your walk is your professional calling card.
The Model Mastery Difference
There’s a distinct difference between someone who looks like a model and someone who moves like a model. The difference is technique, presence, and confidence delivered through expert coaching.
Model Mastery is a 90-minute intensive coaching session designed specifically for aspiring models and new talents preparing for castings, photoshoots, or runway opportunities. Whether you’re just starting your modelling journey or you’re refining your technique before a big break, this session is your launchpad.
What makes Model Mastery different? It’s delivered by Maribel Coles, who trained at the renowned Lucie Clayton Finishing School and studied under the coach who taught the Duchess of Cambridge. That’s not just a credential, that’s a guarantee of world-class expertise. You’re not learning from someone who thinks modelling is about looking pretty. You’re learning from someone who understands that professional modelling is about owning every inch of space you occupy with intention, grace, and undeniable presence.
What’s Included in Model Mastery
Your 90-minute session covers everything you need to stand out in a casting room, on a runway, and in front of a camera.
Professional Walk Coaching starts with the fundamentals. Posture, stride, rhythm, and turns, these are the building blocks of a professional runway walk. You’ll learn how to place each foot with intention, how to move your hips naturally without exaggeration, how to command the space as you walk. This isn’t about looking stiff or artificial, it’s about moving with the kind of effortless grace that photographers and casting directors immediately recognise as professional.
Casting Confidence and Presence Training addresses the mental and emotional aspect of modelling. Walking into a casting room can be nerve-wracking, but when you understand your technique, when you know exactly how to stand, how to present yourself, how to radiate confidence without arrogance, everything changes. You walk in owning the room. That presence is magnetic, and it’s what gets you noticed.
Pose and Movement Refinement for Photoshoots teaches you how to work with a photographer. Modelling for the camera is different from runway work. You’ll learn how to angle your body, how to position your face, how to move subtly to create the shots that make your portfolio shine. Every pose, every movement is intentional. Every moment in front of the camera tells a story.
Heel Technique Correction and Balance Control ensures you’re moving in your heels with absolute security and grace. Whether you’re in a 2-inch heel or a 4-inch stiletto, you need to move like you were born in them. No wobbling, no uncertainty, just smooth, confident movement that shows the photographer and the casting director that you’re a professional who can handle any footwear, any surface, any scenario.
Tailored Feedback and Next-Step Guidance wraps up your session. You’ll leave knowing exactly what you’re doing well, what areas to focus on, and what your next steps are. This isn’t vague encouragement, it’s specific, actionable guidance from someone who knows what agencies are looking for.
Q&A with Maribel gives you the chance to ask questions, get advice, and understand the modelling industry from someone who’s trained models, worked with agencies, and understands the landscape.

Our Agency Collaborations
This is where it gets exciting. Walking in Heels is actively building partnerships with modelling agencies across the UK and internationally. We’re talking Sussex, London, and expansion into Switzerland, France, and Italy. These aren’t just vague future plans, they’re real collaborations that are opening doors for our Model Mastery clients.
When you work with us, you’re not just getting coaching. You’re positioning yourself for genuine professional opportunities. Our agency partners know that clients who’ve worked with Maribel arrive at castings with confidence, technique, and presence. That matters. That gets you booked.
Why Professional Coaching Matters
You might be thinking, can’t I just learn this from YouTube videos or practise on my own? Technically, yes. But here’s what you won’t get from a video: personalised feedback. You won’t know if your stride is too rushed or your posture is slightly off-centre. You won’t understand why some of your casting photos work and others fall flat. You won’t have someone who understands both the technical precision and the industry expectations coaching you in real time.
Professional modelling is competitive. Hundreds of people who look like models are auditioning for the same roles. What sets you apart is technique, confidence, and presence. That’s what Model Mastery delivers.
When Maribel assesses your walk, she’s not just looking at how you move. She’s evaluating how you’d present on a runway, how you’d work with a photographer, how you’d handle yourself in a high-pressure casting room. She’s looking at the small adjustments that transform good from exceptional.
Real Results
Our clients book castings. Our clients walk runways. Our clients build portfolios they’re proud of. And they do it with the confidence and professionalism that comes from training with someone who genuinely knows the industry and genuinely believes in their potential.
One client told us after her Model Mastery session, “I walked into that casting room knowing exactly how to stand, how to walk, how to present myself. I wasn’t nervous because I was prepared. And I booked the job.” That’s what professional coaching delivers.
Your Path to the Catwalk
If you’re serious about modelling, if you’re ready to invest in yourself and your career, Model Mastery is your next step. This isn’t about false promises or shortcuts. This is about professional training from someone who understands exactly what agencies want and how to help you deliver it.
Payment is required upfront to secure your booking. Limited availability reflects the premium, personalised nature of what we offer. Maribel works with a carefully selected number of aligned clients only, because every single person deserves her full attention and expertise.
Your agency-ready transformation starts here. Your path to the catwalk is waiting.
